public class ArrayToStringConverter extends AbstractConverter<Object,String>
Converter
that specializes in converting n-dimensional arrays into
String
s. This Converter
can convert any array whose component
types can be converted into String
s. By default, this
Converter
delimits the array elements with commas.Constructor and Description |

public boolean canConvert(Class<?> src, Class<?> dest)
Converter
Note that this does not necessarily entail that
Converter.convert(Object, Class)
on a specific object of the given source
class will succeed. For example:
canConvert(String.class, int.class)
will return true
because a String
can in general be converted to an int
, but
calling convert("5.1", int.class)
will throw a
NumberFormatException
when the conversion is actually attempted via
the Integer(String)
constructor.

but capable of creating and populating
multi-element objects (Collection
s and array types). If a single
element type is provided, it will be converted the same as
Converter.convert(Object, Class)
. If a multi-element type is detected, then
the value parameter will be interpreted as potential collection of values.
An appropriate container will be created, and the full set of values will
be type converted and added.
NB: This method should be capable of creating any array type, but if a
Collection
interface or abstract class is provided we can only make
a best guess as to what container type to instantiate; defaults are
provided for Set
, Queue
, and List
.
